tkinter: replacing recursion with update_idletasks

Solutions implemented, plus I've done more work on the look of the game. But two problems exist in my current version:

self.scorevar doesn't increment, only decrements

I can't figure out how to reset the timer when the Start button is clicked. (What happens if Start and then Stop and then Start are clicked is that the timer updates every 500 ms, instead of every 1000.)
